Number of passengers grew by 8.7 per cent year-on-year
Finnair Plc. Stock Exchange Release 10 August 2015 at 09:00 EET
In July, Finnair's overall capacity measured in Available Passenger Kilometres
grew by 1.9 per cent and traffic measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometres grew
by 2.9 per cent year‐on‐year. The passenger load factor was 89.1 per cent.
The capacity in Asian traffic decreased by 6.8 per cent and the traffic measured
in Revenue Passenger Kilometres decreased by 5.5 per cent year‐on‐year. The
capacity growth reflects comfort-improving cabin configuration changes made
across the wide-body fleet last winter, and the discontinuation of the seasonal
Hanoi route earlier than in the comparison period. At the same time, the opening
of the seasonal Chicago route in June, opened earlier than last year, shows as
pronounced growth in American traffic.
The capacity in European traffic grew by 5.5 per cent and traffic measured in
Revenue Passenger Kilometres by 6.9 per cent year‐on‐year. This reflects, among
other things, the change of certain European charter flights into scheduled
traffic. At the same time, the growth in domestic traffic is attributed to the
transfer of the flights previously operated at Norra’s own commercial risk to
Finnair’s purchased traffic.
In July, the cargo capacity in scheduled traffic, measured in Available Tonne
Kilometres grew by 8.9 per cent and Revenue Tonne Kilometres decreased by 4.1
per cent year-on-year. The cargo load factor in scheduled traffic was 56.3 per
cent. The overall cargo figures reflect a structural change from the comparison
period, as Finnair withdrew from the use of leased NGA freighter aircraft
capacity in Asian traffic. In July, the cargo traffic consisted almost entirely
of belly cargo on scheduled flights.
In July, 89.3 per cent of all flights arrived on schedule (85.7).
Traffic statistics for August are published on Monday, 7 September 2015.
